Chapter 518 I Must See That Day

March 3, Haoguozi Company weapons testing site.

The sound of gunfire was continuous, with flames from machine guns and rapid-fire cannons spitting out, mixed with the sounds of bolt-action rifles and submachine guns.

This is a position composed of a standard mechanized battalion drawn from the Hailing Second Guards Division, with trenches, fortresses, and barbed wire.

There was no combat opponent on the opposite side of the position, and the experimental battalion's firepower was concentrated on the group of small drones flying lightly in the sky.

In the suburbs of Hailing, there are three guard divisions stationed, forming the guard army that protects the new capital. The commander of the army is the Great Xia Marshal Song Laosan, who is over 40 years old.

Shao Quanzhong's Guards Brigade still exists as an independent organization, but the brigade commander has been replaced by Yan Laoliu's nephew.

Song Laosan, Lin Bozai, Zhang Wushuan, Yan Laoliu and Qu Laosan were all Shao Quanzhong's childhood playmates in Luzhuang. They followed Shao Quanzhong to conquer the world since he established the militia.

Song Laosan and Lin Bozi survived and were both made marshals. Zhang Wushuan died in Zhenjiang while protecting Shao Quanzhong's retreat, and Yan Laoliu and Qu Laosan died in the attack on Jijinbao.

However, Shao Quanzhong was not Zhu Yuanzhang. He was very nostalgic and tried to promote the descendants of old heroes. Zhang Wushuan and Qu Laosan both left sons, but Zhang Wushuan's son was a classmate of Shao Jiming and was currently studying in Baoding and would graduate in July.

Qu Laosan's son just graduated last year. Thanks to Shao Quanzhong's attention, he did not have to wait for seven years and has now been promoted to captain as an exception.

This was Shao Quanzhong's privilege as an emperor. No one could envy the care that the son of a martyr who started a business with Shao Quanzhong received.

However, even if he was promoted exceptionally, he would not be able to become a brigade commander.

Yan Laoliu's nephew was from the second batch of students who studied in Germany in the early years. He had enough qualifications, so he easily defeated Qu Laosan's son Qu Sanbao and became the commander of the Guards Brigade.

Captain Qu is now commanding a company of drone troops to conduct attack simulations with the goal of blowing up the opposite fortress.

The more than eighty "drone operators" are all young men in their teens, with quick minds and super fast hands.

He was hiding in a sturdy bunker, with a telescope in front of him and a remote control device similar to a game controller in his hand, looking like an early middle school student addicted to video games.

Eighty-five drones were moving in a zigzag formation in the air, simulating the skirmish line of an army charge. Drones that were hit kept falling to the ground, and the operators in the bunker punched the ground, lamenting as if they had lost their lives playing a game.

Then, another one quickly took off and joined the battlefield.

"Boom! Boom!"

As the drone dived, the bombs carrying only one kilogram of explosives were accurately dropped into the firing holes of the bunkers. All four bunkers were destroyed. The loss on this side was twenty drones.

The drones that followed up had not yet joined the battle, and the simulated attack had ended.

Shao Quanzhong, who was watching the battle with his hands behind his back, sighed that the war had become unrecognizable to him. How much did twenty small drones cost?

It is useless for a general to not mention the value of life. Even if the commander was cold-blooded enough to blow up the four bunkers with manpower under enemy fire, the compensation for the sacrificed soldiers would far exceed this number.

In actual combat, the firepower of both sides will be suppressed by artillery fire, and fewer drones will be lost.

If you want to rely on artillery to knock down these four bunkers, that would only happen in a large-scale war. Artillery and large bombers cannot be summoned at will, but drone forces are much more flexible.

Qu Sanbao looked dissatisfied, "Uncle Shao, relying on a telescope to observe and remotely control our operation skills are greatly limited."

"When will the TV that Thomson and Nipkov are developing be available? If cameras are installed on drones, the combat effectiveness of drone units will increase several times. Should we wait until then to popularize it?"

Shao Quanzhong patted Qu Sanbao on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Qu, you haven't experienced what happened when I bought the Nanyang Navy Fleet. How many people scolded me for being a spendthrift at that time? We can't wait until the technology is mature before we start. We have to start now when the technology is not yet mature."

"You must start training more drone operators now. Each division must be equipped with a drone fire support company."

"When your training is almost complete, I will promote you to major and command the group army's drone battalion."

"First, we need to develop our system and skills. Once the new technology is in place, our combat capability will be doubled in an instant."

The triode transceiver circuit for drones was the simplest, and it was completed in less than a month. The fax machine had not been produced yet, and it was even more unknown when the TV would be produced. With Shao Quanzhong's impatient temper, there was no time to wait.

"Come on, Isabel, let's go to Huludao and see the effect of a submarine firing wirelessly controlled torpedoes." Shao Quanzhong left Haoguozi Company and prepared to go on a temporary business trip.

Not far from here, in the Xiaoxiangya Expert Villa District, a Maybach is running wildly.

The person driving the car was Zeng Xiaoyi, director of the Finney Survey and Statistics Bureau. He had an anxious look on his face and kept stepping on the accelerator.

The car stopped suddenly. Xiao Yi jumped out, ran over and opened the back door. Xiao Yi's godfather Zhang Siwen jumped out from the back seat.

Zhang Siwen is over forty years old. He is the Prime Minister of Cuba, the Ukrainian Heavenly Kingdom, Bulgaria, the United Kingdom of Crimea, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Franco-Spanish Federation Empire, and Bactria. He has long been able to practice calmly.

But today he was also extremely nervous, and hurriedly ran into the villa with Xiao Yi.

"Shh!"

The one who came out of the villa was Xiao Yi's wife Elena. Elena gestured to Zhang Siwen and his son. The two of them lowered their footsteps, followed Elena into the villa, and tiptoed into the living room.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room was a Chinese medicine practitioner in his forties, and two foreign nurses with top figures and pretty faces were sorting the medicine box.

Seeing the two people coming in a hurry, the doctor waved his hand casually.

"The patient suddenly developed pneumonia. After taking a dose of Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang, his condition has been brought under control. As long as his condition doesn't worsen tonight, his life will be saved."

"The cause of his illness is just an occasional cold. The fundamental reason is that his body is weak, which gave the external evil the opportunity to invade."

"I checked his pulse and found that this German expert must have had a very hard life in his early years. He recently received the tragic news of the death of his wife and eldest daughter, which is why he suddenly fell ill."

"As long as the patient regularly takes the prescription I prescribed to strengthen his body, he will have no problem living to over 80 years old given his current superior living conditions."

Zhang Siwen went over and shook the doctor's hand. "Thank you so much, Dean Ji. You don't understand how important my in-laws are to China. The 400 million people in China will be grateful for your kindness."

Dean Ji waved his hand and said, "It is our duty to cure illnesses and save lives. The experts at Xiaoxiang Cliff are all Marshal Shao's treasures, so it is their duty."

Two beautiful Spanish nurses carried medicine boxes and diagnostic equipment, and Dean Ji walked out of the door with his hands behind his back and disappeared.

Dean Ji, Ji Shuchang, is the disciple of Dr. Fei and the president of Hailing Medical University. He has basically inherited all of Dr. Fei's medical skills.

He went to Madrid to protect Isabel's pregnancy, and later set up a school in Madrid to teach students and established a college of traditional Chinese medicine.

Four years ago, Dr. Fei passed away. He returned to China with several beautiful Spanish nurses presented by the Bourbon royal family and became the royal doctor under Shao Quanzhong.

Doctor Fei was able to use medicine to help Babbage live to be 79 years old, but he himself only lived to be . Human life span is limited by genes. Doctors can cure diseases but not life. They can only save people who are suffering from illness and pain before their life span expires...

"What's going on? What happened to you? Why are there so many cars parked outside? I live next door, why didn't you tell me you were sick?"

As soon as Dean Ji left the house, another economic expert from the neighborhood rushed in. It was too late for Elena to stop him.

The patient was awakened, and a weak but hearty laugh came from the bedroom, "I'm fine, cough, cough, I took the medicine and was sleeping, and you woke me up, come in."

"I won't die so early, cough cough. I must see what the world will be like at that time, cough cough..."

The prescription that Dean Ji prescribed was based on Zhang Zhongjing's Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and it was quite effective. In an era without modern Western medicine, this thing was much more reliable than Western medicine.

Anyone can read Treatise on Febrile Diseases, but not everyone has the ability to know how famous doctors prescribe medicine according to the pulse and weigh the dosage of each herb to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

Fei Boxiong, the most famous doctor in Daxia since then, took action and the patient survived.

His closest comrade-in-arms and Zhang Siwen, Zeng Xiaoyi, and Elena stayed by his side all night as ordered by the doctor.

After making sure everything was alright, the three men went home, leaving Elena to take care of herself.
